Memorial Day thoughts

Today is Memorial Day in the U.S. This is a day on which we remember the soldiers who gave their lives for our country and thank those soldiers and veterans who are still with us.

On this day we should also reflect on how each of us supports our troops in Iraq. Unlike those soldiers who fought and died for a good cause, as in World War II, today's U.S. soldiers are forced to fight in an unjust and poorly planned war based on lies.

Accordingly, those of us who oppose the war ultimately support the troops, because we don't agree with how the Bush administration put these brave young men and women in harm's way for a bunch of lies and oil.

Sadly, the Bush administration obviously does not support our troops. Actions speak louder than words.
